Show that when all consumers and producers are price takers, a competitive equilibrium is always Pareto optimal.
Why can total surplus never fall below zero in a market for goods and services?
A two-good economy is in a competitive equilibrium. The price of a piece of candy is $2 andthe price of a desk is $12. The marginal cost of candy is given by MCc = 2Qc and the marginalcost of a desk is MCd = 4 + 4Qd. The current production level of candy is one piece. What is theoutput of desks? A) Qd = 1B) Qd = 2C) Qd = 4D) Qd = 5
True or False. State with reasoning: The theory of second best says that if there is a distortion that cannot be removed from the market, then it is never best to get all other variables to the Pareto efficient allocation.
Suppose the market for hats is competitive, with many small producers of hats, each of them unable to affect the market price of hats, and many consumers. And suppose there is an increase in the demand for hats. (a) How would an increase in demand affect the demand curve and supply curve for hats; and how would it change the equilibrium price and quantity of hats sold? (b) The Core Economics text observes that "price-taking is no longer a “Nash equilibrium". What is a “Nash equilibrium"? And why is price-taking no longer one? (c) When the market is not in equilibrium, it is said that the short side of the market dominates. What does this mean? (d) What are "economic rents"? How does "rent seeking" enter the process of price adjustment? (e) In what ways might the market for hats differ from "the labour market"?
Recently, the price of fuel has increased in Bangladesh. At the same time the Government of Bangladesh has been allowing several producers to start car production in Bangladesh. Assume, the effect of fuel price increase is lower that that from increased number of car producers. (a) Discuss the possible effects on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the car market. (b) Graphically explain if the quantity is not reached at the equilibrium, total surplus will not be maximum.
Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only
in a competitive market, if there should be a surplus of a product at a given price:
A local store will buy 20 doorbell cameras from a supplier if the price is $77 each. If the price drops to $27 , then the store will buy 30 . The supplier is willing to sell 66 doorbell cameras for the price of $50.50 each, but only 49 at a price of $42.00 each. Find the supply and demand functions and the market equilibrium point. Assume both the supply and demand are linear. Use integers, fractions or decimals to describe the slopes and p-intercepts. A) What is the equation for the demand? p= B) What is the equation for the supply? p= c) What is the market equilibrium point?Explain in details

Supply and Demand The law of demand and supply are important in business. The law of demand states that as price of a good or service increases, the quantity demand decreases and vice versa. While the law of supply states that as prices of goods and services increase, the quantity supplied increases. The law of demand is a good concept for businesses when setting prices. As businesses raise prices, consumers may buy less of the product because their incomes are mostly stagnant. For example, a parent may buy 4 loaves of bread at $2 each which is $8, but may decide to only buy 2 loaves of bread when the price of a loaf of bread increases to $4. This is because the parent’s income is stagnant and he or she has allocated only $8 for bread. Discussion question The law of demand states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded goes down and vice-versa. Share an example of a good or service that follows the law of demand. Give an example of goods or services…
